Comfort and Convenience
Preferred cabin temperature is rarely the same for two people. One passenger dresses for the office and wants cool air, another travels in a coat and wants warmth, so the setting usually ends up negotiated.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Before setting off, a few quiet minutes spent adjusting the mirrors and seat, then locating the indicator and horn, turn unfamiliar switchgear into something known. Preparation of this kind belongs to the stop, not the junction.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Calls arriving mid-journey are common in town. Where a hands-free function is present and paired, a conversation can continue without the phone in hand; otherwise the practical answer is to let it wait until parked.
